Are you thinking of going on a road trip with your used or brand new car? Then best make sure you have a good playlist! Whether it’s a short or long car ride, listening to songs is a terrific way to make your cruise smoother. From old classics to more recent releases, songs have a way of getting you on a good mood while behind the wheel. Try the following songs below to see for yourself.
Mr. Brightside by The Killers
Written by Dave Keuning and Brandon Flowers, Mr. Brightside is one of the first songs The Killers ever made. And it would go on to become their signature tune. With its enduring and exhilarating melodic power, it’s definitely a song you’ll love listening or even singing along to while on the road.
Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars
Though he’s known to have collaborated with artists like Adele, Amy Winehouse, and Christina Aguilera, it was his hit Uptown Funk that put Mark Ronson on the spotlight. This song serves as a blast from the past, combining slightly naughty modern lyrics with the funkadelics that defined the early 80’s. And its hooky, horns-and synths-filled shout out to funk is more than enough to keep you in a good mood while driving.
Shut Up and Drive by Rihanna
But if you’re looking for something with a more feminine note, then Rihanna’s Shut Up and Drive would be your best bet. Despite its music video mostly having a forward and seductive tone to it, its lyrics seem to empower Rihanna, proving that she (and all other women by extension) should be treated equally with men.
See You Again by Wiz Khalifa ft. Charlie Puth
Wiz Khalifa is known for making new great music every now and then. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that when the seventh installment of the Fast and Furious franchise was being made, he developed one of its most popular songs. See You Again is a calm and emotional song, capable of making you tear up every time you listen to it. And the fact that it’s somewhat a tribute to the late Paul Walker makes it an even more fantastic song.
Belt out these hits in your new or pre-owned car and you’ll have a great time on the road. Or better yet, why not sing along to these songs with your friends in tow. That way, you’ll all have a terrific road trip.
